This is a 6-week preparatory cycle that emphasizes back squat improvement and tests a max back squat on week 6.

Volume: ModerateIntensity: Moderate

Good For:

Leg strength (especially back squat specifically)

Notes:

This program is intended to improve and test the squat. It does NOT finish with a snatch and clean & jerk peak, although you will still get plenty of snatch and CJ work and many people do improve significantly in these lifts as well as the squat.
